Questions about carbs

Hi all! I've been logging my food on MFP for the past week and I noticed that I almost always exceed the 'carb goal'. MFP has set a 1200 cal goal for me, and I'm quite short (5"1) so I thought I'd follow it. I was wondering whether MFP's carb/fat/protein breakdown is a good one to follow.

My main carbs every day include: 1 or 2 slices of wholemeal bread, a bowl of noodles, 3/4 bowl of rice, a fruit (orange/banana/apple).

That doesn't sound like a lot so I'm wondering whether I should follow MFP's recommendation and cut carbs? But carbs are usually the only thing that gets me full, and sometimes I get cold sweats if I don't have enough.

1. Should I follow MFP's carb goal?
2. If yes, what should I eat to prevent low blood sugar and to make myself full for hours on?


Thanks so much!

Remember there are better carbs like your whole grain-not sure if that equates to whole meal, whole grain rices, not refined, and of course fruits and veggies. Whole grains....hopefully you like them!

no.

Why not? Aren't whole grains better than white rice and white bread?

Better or worse is debatable. They can be useful if you are having a hard time hitting your fiber goal.
